Alliance Rubber Co. in Hot Springs has been making rubber bands since 1923, but only recently decided to go big. Alliance’s Supersize Bands, available in 12-inch, 14-inch and 17-and-one-quarter-inch sizes, are designed to help customers keep large organizational projects neat.

Bonnie Swayze’s family-owned company will celebrate its 90th anniversary on March 7. In May 2012, Alliance Rubber was one of two recipients of the Manufacturing Extension Partnership’s Excellence in Innovation Award, which was coordinated through the U.S. Department of Commerce and National Institute of Standards & Technology.
